Key Notes Before Start

Stable Printing Environment
Store your 3D printer in a dry and well-ventilated environment. Place it on a flat surface and avoid direct sunlight exposure.

Protective Measures
While printing and using resin, please make sure to wear gloves, masks, protective goggles, and long-sleeved clothing.

Maintenance

• Clean the Z-Axis
  • First, wipe the Z-Axis T-screw with cleanroom wipers.
  • Then, apply a thin layer of general lubricant so that it whirls smoothly.
• Clean the 3D Printer
  Use sanitizing alcohol and tissue paper to carefully clean the printer, the resin vat, and the building plate.

Z-Axis Calibration

• The Sonic Mega 8K S comes with a pre-calibrated building plate, so you can start printing straight out of the box.
• If you need to change the release film or install accessories, please re-calibrate your z-axis afterwards.
